Everyone opposed their planned marriage, as the Church of England did not allow divorced people to remarry in church while their former spouses were still alive.

As he could not marry her due to the opposition, he formally announced his abdication through written notices. His three younger brothers witnessed his declaration, pushing Queen Elizabeth II’s late father, King George VI, to take over the throne.

Meghan Markle launched a legal battle against Mail on Sunday and MailOnline website after they breached her privacy when they posted and printed elements of the five-page letter she wrote to her father after her wedding to Prince Harry.

“This is a victory not just for me, but for anyone who has ever felt scared to stand up for what’s right,” she said after winning the case. “While this win is precedent setting, what matters most is that we are now collectively brave enough to reshape a tabloid industry that conditions people to be cruel, and profits from the lies and pain that they create.”
